A well-known gentleman of T.ittle
I^x'k, purchased an enormous black
bear. A friend who heard of the
purchase went to the eolonel of
course he was a'colonel!—and said:
"Hear that you've got the biggest
bear
in the county."
''Got a whale, let rue
tell you."
"Well, I'll tell you what I want.
I've
got the finest bull dog in the
south. 1 gave $100 for him the
other day, and up to this time he has
whipiK'd two bears. I want liira to
light your bear."
"I don't believe he could

"Yes.

Next day the gentleman and the
dog called on the colonel and the bear.
The bear was chained to a tree in a

This was agreed upon, and the dog
was soon tugging at his end of the
line, anxious to open the engagement.
The bear whined and looked far away.
It was evident that lie didn't relish
the coming j»erformance. When
everything was ready the dog was
liberated. Ue darted at the bear and
grabbed him by the ham. The bear
shook him off, but instead of resent
ing the insult, he turned and began
to climb a tree, dragging the dog after
him. He went out on a limb, and be

ground.
'Why, d—n his fool soul, he'll
kill my dog," howled the gentleman.
"I reckon he will," the colonel re
plied.
The bear lay stretched out on the
limb, looking (town at the (log, whose
struggles were becoming weaker.
"Climb up the tree, colonel,

A New Hampshire farmer who

thirteen miles one day last week to
ask him if he thought the prospective
shortage of crops would bring about
another financial panic. He waited
around the hotel for several hours,
and finally ascertained that the rni'"
